Don't need to read or anything.. Just spend some time trial and error in photoshop.
Take a photo you took, and one which is beautifully edited by a pro, put them side by side and adjust your picture as similar as possible to the pro. Slowly you will know what are the tools involved.

For me, i have a whole set of actions preset (which i created) to speed up my workflow, and adding a shortcut key to those actions helps alot too. For eg, USM + save are preset at my F4 key.. That sure save so much time clicking here and there.
What took me 5 hours to do last time takes only 1 hour to finish now Not to forget batch process where i let my computer work for me when i'm asleep

Re: have u ever feel so tired doing PP ?

yup..use actions and batch processing. record your actions and play them back. you can also search the web for actions. willyfoo also released some good ones in cs.

here's my workflow after loading in the photos..
1. in adobe cs3 bridge, use tools/batch rename to rename my photos to something meaningful
2. then still in bridge select photos to process and rate or label them
3. select those rated or labelled and use tools/photoshop/batch or tools/photoshop/image processor to process the pics

image processor is quite useful cos you can optionally fire off your actions from there.
